An 8-year-old girl is in critical condition after she was shot outside her home in East Oakland on Friday night.

The girl was shot in the neck and remains in critical condition.

As police combed through the crime scene for evidence in this shooting, the neighborhood quickly learned a child was one of the victims of this drive-by shooting.

"I'm not sure which kid it is yet. OK, but I know there's a couple of kids outside that's usually here. If it was a kid outta there, it means they were walking with somebody they know," neighbor Derrick Freeman said.

The 8-year-old victim was playing on her front porch when she was hit by stray gunfire. Her 8-year-old brother was just feet away, but was not hit.

According to our media partner the Oakland Tribune, the intended victim of this shooting was a 47-year-old man who was hit in the groin and leg and is expected to survive.

Neighbors say he was standing in the front yard, four houses away. Police say a car pulled over just feet from where that man was standing.
